Funds raised from the 3rd annual New Leaf's Taste at the Tee will be donated to the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group (SCCBG) who will in turn provide financial support to the Teen Kitchen Project and five other local cancer support services.
The golf tournament will take place Thursday, July 24 at Seascape Golf Club in Aptos. New Leaf's goal is to raise $30,000 from the event. Last year, $22,000 was raise for Grind Out Hunger. The money raised will be distributed by SCCBG to its six beneficiaries: Hospice of Santa Cruz, Jacob’s Heart Children’s Cancer Association, Katz Cancer Resource Center, WomenCARE, UCSC Fellowship for Cancer Research and the Teen Kitchen Project. Since its founding in 1995, the SCCBG has raised over $1 million for its beneficiaries.
Teen Kitchen Projects Supports Families with Healthy Meals
SCCBG added the Teen Kitchen Project as a beneficiary in 2013. This Santa Cruz nonprofit brings young people into the kitchen to learn to cook delicious and nourishing food. The meals they prepare are delivered free of charge to individuals and families in Santa Cruz County who are in crisis due to a life-threatening illness like cancer. The teens gain skills in cooking healthy food, learn about the impact of their food choices, and are offered an opportunity to build connections through community service. Since September 2012, this program has served over 16,000 meals to families in crisis due to illness, and teens have donated over 1,300 service hours.
